Tribe
This book provides an interesting idea, but honestly fails to deliver what could be an awesome universe. There are consistent moments in the book that should be serious, that are under cut by silly writing and a silly character.

Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography
Neil Patrick Harris is a fantastic story teller. This witty premise for a choose your own story is fantastic change to a normally very direct and forced story presentation. His reading of his own book via Audible is the only way to experience it.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
A sleeper of a book. A read that keeps you entertained with vivid imagery and great science. Paolini does a great job of expanding on true theoretical physics. He does a fantastic job of take what should be an inanimate parasite and giving it life. Pun intended when you read the book.
Books
The End of Life as We Know It
Dr. Guillen’s fact based presentation of the wins and woes of technology present a clear and direct path to the absolute destruction of our world if we are not careful. We will have to be careful about the way we move forward or every science fiction movie will be right.
Books
Children of Ruin
These books start off the worst book of all time. Full of confusion, inconsistent voice issues, as well as straight up poor story construction makes it very hard to jump into the book. This is all saved by the end where all the bits make sense, that frustratingly makes you look forward to more.

Witcher Series: Last Wish, Sword of Destiny, and Blood Elves
A great continuation of the Witcher series. Expanding on the relationships, settings, and politics. From assassin's, mages, and kings, it will for sure feel like a season of Game of Thrones. This book is worth the read if you have played the games or watched the show.

Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent
This was a superb book with stories of our fight with terror groups from the 80s to just before/after 9/11 from a Counter Terrorism Agent. Frank does a immaculate job putting stories in front of you highly the thought process of each step without putting you to sleep.
Books
Dune
This books is a great expansion to what was a fantastic movie. I really appreciate when a movie stays true to a book. The story is well thought out and what would naturally be filler or world building, I felt it wasn't so bad that I wanted to skip ahead. I felt like I wanted to know more.

Stillness is the Key
Throughout history, there has been a desire rise above ones emotions. Both the religious and non-religious look to take action in their lives, but it is when we are controlled by the energy that we lose our ability to be in control.

The Warrior's Meditation
This book is a good read on a meditation method that stems from Japanese martial arts. For new meditators, it does a great job of laying out the steps and reasons why those steps are important for you to train with.

Star Wars Visions: Ronin
So this book was ok. To be frank, I had an issue with understanding some of the issues going on with the book because of the pronoun choice. Not making any political statements, but the use of the pronoun "They" made the book very confusing for me.

What You're Really Meant to Do
This book does a fantastic job of presenting ways that you can rethink where you are in your career and the steps you can take to move where you want to go. Beyond all of that, the stories he tells and the questions he ask of those in the stories have already made me make changes.
